Beginning of wmv is green

11-11-2008 6:41 PM |

I am trying to play back several wmv's in silverlight.  Most of them work, however occasionally trying to open the source file hangs not only my application, but also the entire browser.  Eventually (three to five minutes later), video play back begins and everything seems fine.  When I watch the files in windows media player, the first second or two of video is completely green.  I've had some analysis done on the file in question and found out that there is an error (I don't have any exact details on what it was) in the wm9 encoding. 

The faulty video can be re-encoded, but I am trying to figure out how to catch this problem so I can handle it and not lock up the browser.  I've tried to catch the media failed event, but it does not seem to be thrown.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Would it be possible for you to send me a mail via this forum and possibly attach the file causing the issue? This is something that I think the team would be very curious to see. Also, how occasionally is occasionally?
